High-rise version of "Titanic"

The high-rise version of "Titanic" is lengthy. The idea is very good. As the avant-garde era disaster giants gathered in the 70s, the basic framework of the script is very good, but the narratives of the various lines are too average and a little boring. As a 145-minute feature film, the climax scene that came in the last 20 minutes lacked the effective emotional paving and substitution in the front. At the end, the deep-fried cistern also made people feel that there was a lack of waves. The audience watched the big scene and disaster. The human nature under the circumstances, but returned in defeat. Disaster film + bourgeoisie + human nature in adversity is easily reminiscent of "Titanic", but the film's control of these aspects is far from Cameron's ship. The director's greed and corruption against the bourgeoisie, the glitz and vanity of the upper class, the censure and criticism of the vanity and vanity of the upper class, are all diluted in the endless kisses between family and lover, and the ranting farewells; the director's towards the bourgeoisie That part of the expression is completely broken in the bad narrative of the character’s emotions, the human nature is like an off-line kite-like out-of-control narrative. I have a showdown. I'm just running for the big stars. If it weren't for so many big stars and the disaster giants on the posters, I wouldn't bother to watch it (but these big stars' opponents are not exciting enough). The director's narrative style and story rhythm failed. It also made me feel like sitting on pins and needles. Such a good subject was wasted. As mentioned earlier, this subject matter and idea are good. You can find a good narrative, a good storyteller, and an excellent director will retake the shot, so that this resource will not be wasted.

The Towering Inferno quotes

  • Doug Roberts: [on security phone with Wes] Doug... I'm up on 83 with Will. Listen, we got a little wiring problem. If we've got an overload it could be trouble. Shut down as many of the Zone One systems as you can.

    Wes: [into the phone] I'm afraid I can't do that, Mr. Roberts. We've got all the lights on for the dedication ceremony.

    Doug Roberts: [in disbelief] All... you mean the whole building?

    Wes: Well, we're taking the overload just fine.

    Doug Roberts: [sharply] Well shut it down, right away!

    Wes: But I can't do that without a direct okay from Mr. Duncan himself.

    Doug Roberts: I'll accept the responsibility for that. Just turn off the goddamned lights!

    Wes: What about the lights in the tower for the party?

    Doug Roberts: I didn't say kill all the power, just the overload!

    Wes: Yes sir, Mr. Roberts.

  • Dan Bigelow: I used to run the 100 in 10 flat.
